Rattle in left front wheel

So I went to the car wash this morning and when I pulled into the stall I heard a somewhat loud rattle coming from my front drivers side wheel. It sounded like there were a couple stones in the cap that covers the lug nuts. That wasn't the case. It did it in reverse also. Any Ideas? before I take it to the dealer Monday morning. Its a 2011 F-350 6.7 Lariat 4x4 w. 32,000 miles. I also have have a little whine coming from the rear when I take off from a standstill. It might be time to trade it in LOL

Hub issue is what it sounds like.

check that your bumper is tight on that side as well as check for proper clearance at the end of the sway bar. also check your brake line/ vacuum tube bracket make sure its tight. once i had a stone stuck between the rotor and the shield it made a horrible noise. id try a couple of things before taking it to the dealer just because its a dealership doesn't mean there experts unfortunately

Did you end up heading in to the dealer, wingcat? Circle back and post an update when you get a diagnosis.

How many miles? Look for my post about the crappy brake pads on these trucks as it concerns those of us in the snow and ice belt and road chemicals.

I have a piece of rust from the rotor rattling around in my front left hub. And there is no way to remove it without completely disassembling the hub!
